Re: Important Information About Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's

First of all, there is nothing wrong with the Fram filters. I had a '90, '91 and 92 5.0's and all used the Frams. '90 and '91 sold with 33k on them. The '92 had 168k on it and all hard miles. A lot of racing on a stock motor. However, I did use Mobil 1.
I ran a '98 Accord for 160k+ miles and I currently, still have a '95 4x4 Blazer with 172k miles on it.

The Mach uses the Motorcraft filters because I have heard the construction is better AND I am racing in it as well as using it as a DD. If you're using it as a DD and not racing it, Fram would be just fine in my opinion.

But when in doubt, use factory filters or write to Ford and get it in writing as to other manufacturer's filters.
